Chapter 59 Dishappily

Tulip pub, five-storey VIP area...

"Haha, I didn't expect Miss Garlin to be so knowledgeable that I admire her." Ludi, a young officer, laughed and said.

"The general is flattered." Scarlett smiled.

"No, you are too modest. From the chat just now, I'm sure that Ai Jialin must have passed the college's literature examination with her true talent. Now, coupled with your outstanding magical talent, her achievements must be unlimited. Come on, I would like to give you a toast. If you have any literary problems in the future, I must ask you for advice. Ludi made a polite toast.

"It's time for me to ask for advice like a general." Garlene smiled and raised her glass in response. Her smile and movements are impeccable.

Lu Di smiled and nodded on the opposite side, but his heart was a little annoyed. Although the other party came to respond to the appointment, he never mentioned the marriage contract, and he was intentionally or unintentionally guided by Ai Jialin to literature and history during the conversation. However, when the other party talked about these problems with a smile, he was so charming that he even let himself follow the topic.

Seeing that most of the dinner was going on, but there was no progress on that matter, Lu Di couldn't help but feel a little anxious. The more he looked at Ai Jialin, the more he liked it, and the more obsessed he became. He really couldn't talk about these boring issues. However, although he was a little greedy for beauty, his tutoring was good and in the martial arts hall. After further study, it is impossible to ask about the marriage contract without hesitation like those reckless officers.

Lu Di thought about it carefully and then had a plan in his mind. He looked at Ai Jialin and asked, "We just talked about literature and modern history, but I don't know what Ai Jialin knows about the military aspects of the empire?"

Hearing Lu Di continue to ask questions, Ai Jialin squeezed her lips and meditated for a moment, and then said, "I don't know much about the military of the empire, so I can only talk about it based on what I learned in books."

"Well, but it doesn't matter." Mr. Ludi smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

"His Majesty himself also experienced in the army in his early years, so he has always paid great attention to the construction of the army. And the strength of our human beings and the army are inseparable. This is also the foundation of our ability to survive in the Eastern Continent. Without a strong army to guard the customs and defend the Warcraft Forest, it would be impossible for us to enjoy a stable and comfortable life now. The army of the empire is divided into the Central Army, the Imperial City Guard, the Zhenbei Army, the Black Horse Army, and the coastal defense army..."

"...And in addition to these, several major battles of the empire decades ago are also worth mentioning. One of the most famous is your father, Marshal Barrick, who led 100,000 troops on the West Coast 30 years ago, fought against the Orc Blackstone Tribe and the Fallen Elves, and won a complete victory. That battle greatly damaged the main strength of the orc tribe, and even defeated the fallen elves with low fertility, thus laying the foundation for stability and peace in our empire for so many years. In that war, Barrick* was awarded the title of marshal. Of course, there are also many losses in the empire. A large number of prosperous ports have been destroyed and have not been completely repaired so far. Several major ports on the west coast will often be attacked by unknown tribes of orcs, making the residents in the coastal area a little frightened, which is all thanks to the military and political management policy issued by the empire to better govern..."

Listening to Ai Jialin's answer, Ludi couldn't help nodding. This beautiful girl, her knowledge is as beautiful, countless, endless, never tired of...

When Ai Jialin finished speaking, Lu Di immediately applauded and praised, "I really admire Miss Ai Jialin's knowledge, so what do you think of the business form in the empire today?"

"Business?" Ai Jialin thought about it and then said, "I know a little more about business. After all, my father is the president of the Chamber of Commerce. I usually know more or less about it."

"Listen carefully." Ludi nodded with a smile.

"Now that the residents in the empire have a better life, the demand has increased, and many large chambers of commerce have emerged. In addition to daily necessities, the luxury goods market has also begun to heat up. Commercial activities are not limited to the Sky City of the imperial capital, but also the Storm City in the middle. The forest in the east used to have the turmoil of Warcraft, but now there are caravans to develop and monopolize the market in that area; while the area rich in precious medicinal materials in the south was once barren, but now many civilians in that area are not thinking about their jobs because of a large number of precious medicinal materials have been mined. The business of medicinal materials has both advantages and disadvantages. Although the development of cherishing drugs has promoted the development of medicine, it is proof that many people have died of hunger in the production of crops in recent years. Needless to mention the coal mines in the western region, some black-hearted businessmen have monopolized the mine, and sometimes the army's They don't buy accounts; ... This is even more so in the sky city of the imperial capital. This is the place where "the world's rich businessmen gather". They are extravagant and profligate big things. Now there are pubs, hotels, chambers of commerce, etc... The decrees on commerce in the empire have not been promulgated in time, resulting in extremely uncontrollable commerce. Some are getting rich, and some are closing down. Of course, many of those who have become rich are not doing well and will eventually go to the road of extinction. And now many businessmen hope to squeeze out their peers in order to raise prices and hoard inventory. Most shopkeepers have done so, which has led to unsalable goods, increased inventories, generally falling prices, and many stores closing down.

"Well, that's true. I also know something about the current situation." Ludi nodded and answered.

"But this phenomenon cannot be suppressed. More people are still doing this. Merchants buy a lot of goods and hoard goods. Many commercial speculation activities have led to the false prosperity of the market in the empire, which has covered up many real situations in our lives, thus exacerbating the contradiction between production and consumption. Not only this situation, but also many problems are worrying. Agaline shook her head.

Lu Di smiled. He knew very well that if Ai Jialin talked about business issues, she would definitely tell the current business situation in the empire, as expected. Hey hey, I'm finally going to take the bait.' Lu Di smiled secretly, but he did not slow down and said, "Well, the pressure of the major chambers of commerce is really great. So Garlin, isn't there any good prospect now? Has Lord Wokand talked to you?

"Well, of course there is." Ai Jialin nodded and said, "Good prospects are actually the best now. The most stable gains are export trade and shipping. Although the empire has now clearly stopped trading with orc tribes and those fallen humans, fallen elves and dark forces in the western continent. However, we have always been friends with the high elves and the night elves, and our trade has never been broken. Moreover, the elves also like very much and need these goods of human beings very much. If they can get the order of the west coast port and transport a large number of goods to the western continent to trade with the elves, the situation of the major chambers of commerce will be much better. My father is actually worried about this problem. It's just that the ports on the west coast are now divided by military and political rule. Although they have not been attacked for a while, they still need to pay attention to and guard against the raids of the dark forces in the western continent, so it is not so easy to get a pass order, unless the military can join hands with the Chamber of Commerce. Ai Jialin sighed, but after saying that, she suddenly frowned. After answering, Ai Jialin, who was smart, felt that something was wrong...

Sure enough, Ludi laughed here, stood up with a glass, came to Ai Jialin, and raised his glass: "Actually, I am also very aware of the current plight of the major chambers of commerce, so if you know, if the coastal military can and the first chamber of commerce in the mainland How wonderful will it be if we work together? Hahaha..."

Agaline's eyes widened, and she finally knew the problem. I had avoided all night in order not to talk about the marriage between the two families, but I didn't expect that in the end, the other party would use such a method to take the initiative to bring it out, and then immediately took advantage of the victory. Such a deep scheming made her feel extremely uncomfortable, and she was extremely disgusted at the thought of living with such a person.

"I... I don't know what you're talking about." Ai Garlene shook her head quickly.

"Ai Jialin, what are you afraid of? If you marry me and the two families work together, it will solve the dilemma of the Wojind Chamber of Commerce." Ludi suddenly said that he couldn't care so much at this moment. As he spoke, he came forward and grabbed Ai Jialin's hand.

"Ah! What are you doing? Ai Jialin's jade hand was caught and immediately anxious. She quickly wanted to shake it away, but how could she shake Lu Di, who had been practicing martial arts since childhood? She looked at Lu Di's cold voice and said, "General, please respect yourself."

Self-weight? What do I need for self-respect? You know, you are going to be my fiancee soon, so what if I hold your hand?

"Ludi, let go of me, Ludi, I came here today just because my father agreed to your family's banquet. I didn't intend to agree to this marriage contract in the first place. Your behavior will only strengthen my mind.

"No! You are mine, and you must marry me." Lu Di suddenly said crazily here. After seeing Ai Jialin tonight, he was deeply immersed in it. He finally induced Ai Jialin to take the initiative to propose a cooperation between the two families before he suddenly had an attack. At this time, he suddenly heard the beauty's cold refusal. Suddenly, he felt a basin of cold water dripping from his head to his feet and lost his mind. He hugged Ai Jialin and shouted, "Your father has agreed to my request. You are mine!"

"Bang!" ... A slap fell on Ludi's face, which stunned him. It was Ai Jialin who took action angrily. Although she entered the college to practice magic for a period of time, after all, the time was still short. At this time, she was just a weak woman. So Ludi didn't get any harm, but his cheeks turned slightly red.

"What's going on?!" A strong warrior and a man like a driver rushed in. It was Ai Jialin's servant. They were waiting outside. Suddenly, they heard the quarrel in the room and applause, and immediately rushed in without hesitation. Ludi's attendants came in with them. They couldn't help but be dumbfounded at the situation in front of them and didn't know what to do.

"You...you hit me..." Ludi touched his cheek and looked at Ai Jialin's unbelievable. According to his imagination, he would capture the beauty's heart tonight, at least to finalize the marriage, but he didn't expect that he would not only get a good thing but was slapped.

Ai Jialin looked at him in disgust, and her beautiful big eyes were full of tears. Even if the tutor has been as well as her since she was a child, she was suddenly grabbed and forcibly hugged, and it is unbearable. At this moment, she just tried to control her tears, and then looked at Ludi and said seriously, "My father has promised me not to mention the marriage of the two families for the time being, and I believe it should also be handed over to your father. Now I tell you clearly that I will never marry someone like you!"

After saying that, she turned around and ran out. Hey! Miss, wait!" The samurai, the driver, and the maid Booney shouted and chased out together. Ludi was left standing there with a gloomy face and didn't know what to think.
